Exact Solution of the Schrödinger Equation for Composition of Coulomb and Oscillator Potentials

V. V. Kudryashov and A. V. Baran

The spherically symmetric potential is considered whose dependence on the distance r is described by the smooth composition of Coulomb at r < r₀ and oscillator at r > r₀ potentials. The boundary distance r₀ is determined by the parameters of these potentials. The exact continuous solution of the radial Schrödinger equation is expressed in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The discrete energy levels are obtained. The graphic illustrations for the energy spectrum and the radial wave functions are presented.

Key words: composition of Coulomb and oscillator potentials, radial wave functions, energy levels
